Happy Franklin

Franklin is generally a content little
guy! He has a case of the crabbies right before bed, but not too bad at all.
Lately after a nice nap Franklin has been quite generous with his smiles. Coen and Hallie get especially excited when he smiles at them. We love him so much!

Serious Franklin

Here are some of Frankie's quite serious expressions!

One month old!

Franklin turned one month old yesterday! He's about 11-11.5 pounds and 22 inches or so. He is smiling more and more, and he enjoys being held for naps but is getting better at sleeping in his bassinet during the day. He's waking up more and being outside usually calms him if he's in a crabby mood.
Halina says "I love him."
Coen says "i love him. I wish he could hug me forever."
I say I'm glad that we are exiting the 6-weeks-of-survival and that I can see the light at the end of the newborn tunnel :)

All Halina's Life

Hallie's new thing is to add "all my life!" emphatically to the end of her sentences.

Example: "I like doggies. I like doggies ALL MY LIFE!!"

Little Gymnast

Halina took two sessions of gymnastics and loooooves it! We took a break while Franklin is a newborn, but we will start again in the late fall/winter. She is so strong and puts Coen to shame! (He did one session and decided it's not his thing.)

Restarting the Blog!

I was asked by Coen's Kindergarten teacher to write a story about him so I'm writing a little poem about each year of his life. Well, I had to turn to the blog to jog my memory and that's when I realized that I haven't written anything in over two years. And I have a terrible memory.

So here goes the blog restart!

Coen is now 6 years old, Halina is now 2 1/2, and Franklin is almost a month old. I'll do some catch-up here and there, but mostly I'll focus on the here on out.
